Before paint job

Here is my house in February. One of our two snow days. Looks pretty though I prefer spring. It was time for a paint job. See where the cedar shingles are on the two gables? They looked really faded and mildewed and only one other house in our neighborhood besides us, hadn't taken care of this so we changed the color and I think it looks pretty good. I don't know how to upload two pictures from picassa yet so I will do the very next post as an after . I hope it translates well on digital media!
